eCareers is an online education provider with courses such as Microsoft Excel 2010 online training, Apple & Android App Developer package and garden design diploma, and all eCareers students qualify for a NUS student discount card.

The problem is these courses are around £300.

So here’s what you do.

Go to a site such as discount and find one that is 97 per cent off, such as the Accounting and Bookkeeping course from Wowcher costing £9, until 10pm on Saturday, March 31.

Now once you have bought the course, you’re officially a student and can get yourself an NUS Extra card, which will cost you £12.

Go to the NUS website, in the top right of the page click ‘Buy your NUS extra card now’ and fill in your details.

Just put in your normal email address (doesn’t have to be a student one), fill in your details and make sure you spend the extra £1 to get it delivered to your home, rather than to eCareers head office.

The card will arrive in the post a couple of days later and is valid for a year.

These deals come and go on daily deals sites, so if you decide not to get this deal now, a good place to check for them is a site called dealzippy. Just search for ‘e-careers’ and it will search all the discount sites for offers and you can pick the cheapest one (or even one you might be interested in studying).

Do I have to actually study the course?

Don’t worry, e-Careers isn’t going to start sending letters home for poor attendance. You don’t have to do anything once you’ve signed up.
